Weekend Trip to Cedar Creek Campground at Elease

Beautiful, private and somewhat enchanted. We felt such a sense of peace here. From the first contact with Mike, we knew it would be special. Large, private lots were scattered throughout the wooded area. Very well landscaped and looking forward to returning when everything is in bloom. If this is any indication of what our retirement will be like, we’re ready to explore now. A lot of love and care has built this place and it shows!

Absolutely beautiful place. The pictures don't do it justice. Well spaced, generously sized sites, and clean, nicely maintained porta-john. The provided wipes are especially nice. The camp hostess rolls out the red carpet. We will definitely be coming back here.

We loved Black River Camping Ventures, it’s a most beautiful and serene landscape. Right on the river the views are magical. Walking up to the point and watching the sunset was a breathtaking moment. They have a lovely beach area to launch kayaks and some wonderful swamp and cypress areas to explore. Catfish in the river make fishing a fun time! The camping areas are large and each feature a fire ring with swing over cooking grate, trash can and picnic table. There are a couple of portable-John’s for use which are kept spotless. They even supply tissue, wipes and sanitizer! Mrs Lisa and Mr Eric were absolutely wonderful hosts, and made sure we had everything we needed for a fabulous time. We recommend very highly this camping site for fun family adventures.

I came here in early November and wound up extending my stay twice because we enjoyed it so much. Connie and Jeff have a beautiful well maintained piece of property with plenty of level ground for the camper. There were several trails I explored with my pets and plenty of wood for fires at night. Plus only a 15 minute drive to the beach. It felt very private and safe the whole time I was there. I hope to be back someday!

The best camping in Lumber River State Park, NC guide

Overview

About

Lumber River State Park holds one of the longest stretches of river of any park in the state. 115 miles of river flows through this extensive area, 81 of which are designated national wild and scenic waters. That’s the equivalent of an official stamp that declares good times for anyone who paddles here. And paddle you should. No trip to Lumber River State Park would be complete without logging at least a few miles drifting down the beautiful waterway.

But if water really isn’t your thing, there are 11,064 acres of land where you can find a million ways to stay entertained. We’d recommend the 1.5-mile trail in the Princess Ann area, which features a 100-foot boardwalk across a wetland area and a turn-of-the-century millpond. Now that we’ve wet your appetite for adventure, get out there and quench it!

When to go

The ideal time to visit Lumber River State Park is during the spring and fall when the weather is mild and the natural scenery is at its peak. Summer months can be warm and humid, perfect for water activities, while winter offers a quiet, stark beauty. Avoid peak holiday weekends for a more serene experience.
